SIG Citabria 1753mm Balsa KIT - SIG
Ideal for Sunday Flying or Sport Scale Competition
The Citabria can certainly be called this generation‘s barnstormer. Introduced in the early 1960s by Champion Aircraft Corp. as a sporty alternative for private pilots who wanted something different than an all-metal "nosewheel airplane". It was a direct descendant of the venerable Aeronca Champ. Sport fliers fell in love with the Citabria because, even though it had more horsepower and new aerobatic capability, it is still a sweet flying Champ at heart.
This scale model of the Citabria flies just as good as the original! Its big flat-bottomed wing makes it easy and gentle to fly.
Loops, rolls, hammerheads, Immelmann turns and spins are all part of its aerobatic routine.
With the exact scale outlines of a post-1974 Citabria the SIG kit features rugged balsa/ply construction with precision die-cut parts.
The sturdy one piece wing with wing struts and built up tail surfaces assemble quickly for a scale appearance.
Complete hardware pack includes engine mount, aluminum landing gear, tail wheel assembly, molded plastic cowl and wheel pants, hinges, authentic decals, full-size plans, photo illustrated instruction, scale 3-view drawing, etc.
